Poll: Murray, Rossi still tied

Sen. Patty Murray and one of her Republican challengers are both favored by 47 percent of respondents in a new poll.

The Rasmussen Reports survey of 500 likely voters, taken June 22, shows basically the same result as a query a month ago. That survey had Murray at 48 percent and Rossi at 47 percent. The margin of error was 4.5 percent.

Murray, a Democrat seeking a fourth term, fares better against two other GOP challengers. She leads former pro football player Clint Didier 48 to 40 and businessman Paul Akers 48 to 38.
